Instead of plotting my points using physical graph paper, I attempted to visualize my piece and created it through various trials and errors. I enjoyed creating the gradients within the moons and adding the basic movement effect. My first-hand experience with this program has opened my eyes to both the simplicity and complexity behind coding. I am glad to have merely tested the waters and developed a basic knowledge of a program that provides limitless potential. Est. time: 8hrs my code:         //Background// var bkgdgrd = context.createLinearGradient(0,200,0,600);         bkgdgrd.addColorStop(0 , "#000000" );         bkgdgrd.addColorStop(0.1 , "#4C2574" );         bkgdgrd.addColorStop(0.40 , "#6B0581" );     ...

Hello,      My name is Nick DeCurtis, I'm from Point Pleasant, NJ, and I am a Film & Media Arts major. Some of my interests are skating, hiking, camping, and making video edits. I'm looking forward to seeing what the class has to offer, and I believe it will open my mind to different applications in my craft. I hope everyone has a good semester.
